Look, I love capoeira
Look, I love capoeira
Look, I love it with all my heart

Through capoeira, I say yes, I say no
I say no to arrogance and also to oppression
I say yes to friendship and to heartfelt things
Capoeira is my life, it changed my direction
If I'm here today, tomorrow I could be there
But wherever I go, I carry it in my heart
The sound of the berimbau, the agogô, and the pandeiro
Even without a place to stay, capoeira's in my soul

My dad said yes, my mom said no
Capoeira made me, oh oh oh, a free person at last
Capoeira is infinite, it's the rhythm that flows
Capoeira is my name, capoeira's in my blood
Capoeira is feeling good, my friend

Greater is God
Smaller am I
Hail the master
Hail all the masters
Look, it's time, it's time
Yes sir, let's go
Look, the time has come
It's time, it's time
